People Eat The Animals=PETA I'll make some enemies with this one, but i have to start a afire. Should animals be used for food?

femme_metale43 Posts: 75 November 06, 2005, 05:56:pm It depends on the animal. I mean... who ever heard of a chicken dying of natural causes? What other possible purpose could they serve?? And that is coming from someone who was a vegetarian for 6 years (just recently started eating meat again). ~Femme_Metale43~

Danag Posts: 37 November 06, 2005, 06:18:pm it is not necesary that we eat animals. but it is in our genetic make-up that we also should eat meat.... have you ever seen a chimpansee hunting party? we arent the only monkeys capable of cruelty... Blessings Danag

sothiswilldo The Popcorn Flicker Posts: 349 November 06, 2005, 06:20:pm I like eating meat. WARNING: My profile is umm..shiney.

as_we_pray Posts: 119 November 06, 2005, 06:32:pm Meats good. I like it. Seriously though, I've known too many vegetarians/vegans (mostly vegans) who have severe protien difficiency, iron difficiency, and one girl had serious liver problems cause she didn't eat any meat. Do we as humans eat too much meat? HELL FUCKING YES!!! Really, all you need is a little bit a day, but you do need it. At least in some capacity (whether it be chicken, fish, red, etc.) -Fuck you, and fuck you and FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!-

I put a spell on you Because you're mine. Im not a spoilt little bitch....... I just get what i want!

I can see how eating "pets" would be considered revolting to our sensibilities, but in a country where most people are extremely poor, meat occasionally wears a collar. I disagree with STEALING an animal that is obviously owned for the sake of consumption. China has actually had a change of heart when it comes to eating cat and snake because of the burgeoning RAT problem (the other OTHER red meat)

What really makes me angry is the use of animals in ways that are pointlessly cruel. This article was posted in the SUN in the UK.

"STRAY dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal.

The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg.

The pup was found in a coastal creek and is thought to have somehow freed itself from a fishing line..." This is the link, but be warned...there is a pic, even if it is a reproduction for demonstration it's still chilling.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005450117,00.html

Why not use slaughterhouse remnants or chum, sharks aren't exactly picky eaters, because stray dogs are free... bastards and THAT is why organizations like WWF and PETA need to be there...

When her divine and wicked kiss is set upon your lips, all the sunrises you have forgotten shall roll back over you like the echo of a world cracking in two.

Pain-n-April Posts: 5 November 06, 2005, 07:50:pm yeah. meat is nessesary for certain nutrients and vitamins. however, the means to get the meat i turns out to be total shit antics. Animals are getting treated horribly before being killed. They get fed all sorts of shit and get pumped full of hormones and steroids to make em grow fast. thats disgusing. I like eating meat but i dont like it when i know its harming MY body after i eat hormone pumped chicken. its not right for the animal or the humans who eat em. there is too much demand for meats. they are trying to supply alot, so the people raising the animal give em shit to make "high quality" no matter the consequences. PEACE

PainsPlayground Posts: 1 November 06, 2005, 08:59:pm I am a carnivore. I LOVE meat but I tend to be VERY picky about it. I buy stuff that says it's hormone free when I can find it and have the money for it. I don't wanna sprout an extra arm out of my forehead on acount of all the extra crap they put into meat now days. It's rather scary to think about all the stuff added, not only to meat, but to everything else we eat.

As for the dogs getting drug behind boats, that's FUCKED up!!!!!!!!! They should do that to the people manning the boats and see how much THEY like it.

Twisted_Transistor Posts: 76 November 06, 2005, 09:17:pm Meat is good, and people need it. Im sorry, but Tofu will neevr replace anything for me - especially not meat.

lonelyandforgotten Posts: 7 November 06, 2005, 10:01:pm I like animals. A lot. I would be a vegetarian and all that jazz. 'Cept I like hamburgers too much.

So my vote: yes. It's good. Sorry. Santa's at the pants party.

Danag Posts: 40 November 07, 2005, 03:57:am as i read it this is not about if u like meat. humans CAN survive well without meat, it just means you have to look very carefully at what you eat, in order to fully sustain a healthy diet. and about what we ocnsider pets... why is that wrong? there are ppl who keep pigs as pets. just cuz u can call an animal fluffy or sumtin, doesnt mean its less of a meatsource.from what i have understood, cat and dogmeat is a lot healthier and a lot tastier. Blessings Danag

sketty_monster Posts: 19 November 07, 2005, 05:41:am excuse me, but if you were starving, you would eat ANYTHING you could to stay alive

there are people starving every bloody day and yet some people have the audacity to consider themselves right to preach what we should and shouldn't eat? we should eat what we have to, whether that be dog, horse, pig, goat, cow, chicken, cat or hamster, WITHOUT those ignorant bastards critisising other's for SURVIVING

as for those of you who can afford to choose what you eat so carefully, WHO FUCKING CARES. that's your choice, you can afford to choose cruelty against animals is unecessary, sure, but try LIVING UNDER THE POVERTY LINE and then you can say what's justified when you're dieing for malnutrition

p.s. I'm not referring to anyone who has replied to this post yet, I'm referring to the ignorant bastards I have to speak to every bloody day they really piss me off and I'm in a really bad mood as it is

p.p.s I don't personally eat red meat, ever, but that's cos my stomach won't handle it and makes me puke if anything would turn me it would be lamb chops, never bacon. mmm baby sheep

demons_rejoice Posts: 153 November 07, 2005, 05:55:am if animals weren't meant to be eaten, they wouldn't be made out of meat!

_RedInTheCoffin_ Posts: 24 November 07, 2005, 07:02:am I do believe we eat animals,because it's natural to do so, but many people do it, to dress themselves paying thousands of dollars for it, others hunt for pleasure.,that i don't approve _Cutting is not a trend,it's a fucking pain reliever_

Carbonchild Posts: 37 November 07, 2005, 08:15:am I would say yes. Nothing wrong with that. Please don't upset me, I'm running out of places to hide the bodies.

Without humans harvesting most of the worlds domestic populations these animals would not have the numbers they currently do. Mankind actually allows for large herds of cows, pigs, and sheep to exist without the threat of major predation to them. As well as we also treat against common ailments they would normallly have thinning their ranks.

If mankind didn't eat these doemstic animals then they would overpopulate and face drought and starvation because of the devastation they would have on the enrionment. As for the wild animals like dear and such, they would have much the same problems as if we stopped raisng doemstics. DC VOA Vote for SinShirtS.com Edited by: Dkngod at November 07, 2005, 04:43pm

sketty_monster Posts: 20 November 07, 2005, 04:48:pm yeh and look what happened when we stopped eating rabbits they're infesting the countryside eat some game!

danmedix Posts: 53 November 08, 2005, 04:21:pm Animals are YUMMY! especially when I'M cooking that night!! PETA really does things the WRONG way, and loves shoving misinformation and shock value into the mix, just to get attention. (kinda like an old girlfriend of mine). Bunch of drama queens who will be dead soon...then we'll need to do something with all the dead vegans.... AND I'LL BE FIRST IN LINE TO MAKE PETA-BURGERS!!!!! WHO WANTS ONE?!?!?!?! hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! ...by reading this, you have just been made a better person. ..........you're welcome.

self-rightious Posts: 6 November 08, 2005, 05:30:pm Depends on the animal,,, different cultures eat different animals and are gross to others...NOT to eat: cat,rat,monkey,horse....etc... and I really dislike PETA members,lol... I have received crappy letters and such, huge arguments,, and so fourth,, they really do not have any grounds to speak. We are meat eaters and some blood suckers,, it is not ONLY in our nature but our bodies crave for such consumption... EAT MEAT!!!!!!! click banner, join! dont forget to post in cult section!

Alaric Mr. 'I have something to say about everything' :) Posts: 272 November 08, 2005, 08:02:pm Eating meat is part of a healthy diet. Didn't the PETA look at the fucking Pyramid Chart! GAWD! I found Jesus... He was behind the couch the entire time!

Bleeding_Life Posts: 7 November 09, 2005, 02:12:am Yeah why not, its good for you and tastes nummy. I mean if you dont want to eat animals, well at least you have heart for the little fuzzy things. Nothing against veggie lovers if thats your thing then ok cool, just dont fucking preach to me about it, my life, my rules. At one time I wanted nothing more than death for myself. Now I just want it for everyone else...

Deadmoon_girl SHARD Posts: 63 November 09, 2005, 04:19:am i think that animals can be hunted for food, but thats it, other animals eat other animals, its life, but i'm strogly against animal crulty, like, they nail ducks' feet to the bottom of their cage so they don't loose weight, before their killed for food, i think thats wrong, if thier gonna die least let them go with some sort of a fucken life, thats just cruel!!! All my friends are embryonic, All my friends are dead and gone, All my friends are microscopic, All my friends wake up alone.

enigma413 Posts: 17 November 09, 2005, 11:32:am I love animals. They taste great! iN A wOrLD Of hUmaN wRECkAgE.....

Aeternatus Posts: 5 November 09, 2005, 03:24:pm yeah they should be used as meat, it's more productive then letting them be locked up in a cage to be watched or out in the open where they'll die of predators or natural causes anyway. If i had the chance, id eat dogs, cats, rats etc (not pigeons) if they were bred specifically for eating. by this point, you're probably thinking im sick and disgusting for wanting to eat dogs or cats, thats just because we're brought up in a society of pet lovers. ok getting back on track, im not saying their sole purpose is just to be eaten they should have a life too, but if someone wants to eat it, then why stop them? As long as the animal doesn't go extinct or was brought up in a cruel environment, we should have the choice of eating it. *IMMORTALIZE*

hokeypokeydemon Posts: 34 November 10, 2005, 08:39:am hell i say if you can cook it right...eat it. its food, we need certain things to live. we grow them we pet them we love them we eat them. simple....

Dkngod Posts: 122 [edit] November 17, 2005, 08:43:pm Who would be against the veal industry? I don't see any thing wrong with eating calves that have lived there whole live with an IV and confined in a small space where they can't even walk. Veal is yummy.

Raise the chickens the same way. I'll eat them.

I feel sorry for animals that suffer needless abuse like a dog or horse getting beatings by their owners, but I don't care as to how animals are raised that are going to be eaten.

Vegans irritate me when they say the animals have feelings and should be respected just like people. I normally ask them if they think plants have emotions as well or can feel pain?

There have been several studies done that show plants respond positively to kind treatment. One such study feeding and watering the plants the same way and susing the same sunlight claimed that plants even behave better for one person feeding them if that person talks to the plant in a nice manner and maybe gently pets it, but if another person just waters the plant and the perfomrs the bare minimum of tasks for the plants survivial the plant will act "depressed". Some plants flinch when their leaves are pulled off, etc. Almost all plants show a rapid adaptive skill in their response to pests. To be adaptive takes at least a primitive intelligence.

So where is a trees brain? Celts used to worship trees. They thought the Dryads lived in them and took care of the trees needs.

So I try to give vegans a guilt trip about their diet if they try to make me feel guilty for eating my roasts, steaks and all those other delightful meals on legs.
